That sounds great, but there's a chance my trip will be delayed by a week or so... I'll know on Sunday, hopefully, or Monday at the latest. I mean, I guess you can meet up anyway

BTW, do you know of a store in London where I might be able to buy fancy shoes, not from leather (fake leather is fine), and in big sizes? I'm about size 13 UK (47-48 European). I mean something I might want to wear with a suit.

Clarks does good shoes (and I'm pretty sure they have a lot of non-leather stuff, but to be honest I don't really pay attention). Not sure how large they go with men's sizes, but they are quite a common chain and the people there would know where else to direct you.

Crabtree's bludgeon: “no set of mutually inconsistent observations can exist for which some human intellect cannot conceive a coherent explanation, however complicated”

Aaaaand it's back. I'll be there from this coming Sunday until Thursday. I'm not actually sure how much free time I'll have, work is pressuring me to do stuff in my free time as well, but I'd love to meet some people at some point. I'm not sure on the flights yet, I'm in the booking process.
